A weekend of Travel Writing
Few of us can say we don’t love travel. To travel is to experience so much – new sights, new sounds, new people. And for writers, new inspiration! Many people dream of writing travel features for their favourite magazines or newspapers, and it is possible. Sure, it’s a competitive industry, but with the right strategies and tools, you can confidently pitch your articles to editors, and get paid to travel.
Over just one weekend, you can learn the tools of travel writing with Sue White, a prolific travel writer who has written for The Sydney Morning Herald, Vogue Australia, Travel + Leisure (Australia), Sun Herald Travel, Vogue Entertaining + Travel, CNN Traveller and various ABC outlets. Sue’s practical advice will help you turn your dream trip into a writing career.
Here’s what some recent participants had to say about the course:
“As always having an experienced/successful ‘real-life’ writer makes all the difference (may seem obvious but I have been on courses where tutors have been want-to-be vs actual writers!) The focus on the ‘business’ of travel writing was great. Sue was great – I loved her relaxed style and openness to questions. She had loads of practical examples that brought things to life.”
- Christa McDermott
“Inspirational & motivational – I’ve been given confidence that I can be a travel writer. Sue is a very experienced feature and travel writer and willing to share her experience and strategies. The Sydney Writers’ Centre … has a very ‘hands-on’ and practical approach, and is very professional. It’s great to be taught by professional writers who are actively engaged in the industry.”
- Coral Cooksley
